the clique had job on it's hands If 1t expected
to keep the price of June whest above sec. The
crowd being very be arish and the outside mar
clique brokers' with wheat for long time. The
latter took all of the large lots that came on the
market, but generally ignored small lots.
There were no new features in the afternoon
board until near the close of the session, when
concerted buying from all parts of the pit by
clique and sellers of morning Sc Mt June up to
